We can help you with both a trailer hitch receiver for your 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe and a hitch-mount cargo carrier to bring home your freezer full of venison. Save me a back strap!

First things first: we offer only one hitch for your G35 Coupe, the one you referenced, # C11483 from Curt. This is a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch that has a modest tongue weight (downward force) rating of 150-lbs. This means that the carrier you choose plus the deer you bag together cannot weigh more than 150lbs. Also note that you must use a stabilizing strap # 18050 in order to retain your hitch warranty from Curt. Installation requires some drilling and some trimming of the
rear fascia but all hardware is included. Written instructions are linked along with two helpful articles.

With this hitch in place you can use a compatible Class I cargo carrier. The link at right will let you see all four options. The two Curt carriers, parts # C18145 and # C18110, are the lightest (at 29- and 30-lbs) and will leave you more remaining weight capacity for your deer. Please note that even though the carrier may be rated for 300-lbs of loaded cargo, you are limited to the hitch capacity of 150-lbs.
